CHE SIGNIFICA HUMOUR IN INGLESE

Umorismo

Humour

L'umorismo o l'umorismo è la tendenza di esperienze cognitive particolari per provocare risate e divertirsi. Il termine deriva dalla medicina umorica degli antichi greci, che insegnava che l'equilibrio dei fluidi nel corpo umano, noto come umori, controllasse la salute umana e l'emozione. Persone di tutte le età e culture rispondono all'umorismo. La maggior parte delle persone è in grado di sperimentare l'umorismo - cioè divertirsi, sorridere o ridere di qualcosa di divertente - e perciò sono considerati un senso dell'umorismo. L'ipotetica persona che manca di un senso di umorismo avrebbe probabilmente trovato il comportamento indotto dall'umorismo ad essere inspiegabile, strano, o addirittura irrazionale. Anche se in definitiva deciso dal gusto personale, la misura in cui una persona trova qualcosa di umoristico dipende da una serie di variabili, tra cui la posizione geografica, la cultura, la maturità, il livello di istruzione, l'intelligenza e il contesto. Ad esempio, i bambini piccoli possono favorire lo slapstick come spettacoli di fantoccio Punch e Judy o cartoni animati come Tom e Jerry, la cui natura puramente fisica lo rende più accessibile.

Humour or humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours, controlled human health and emotion. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. Most people are able to experience humour—i.e., to be amused, to smile or laugh at something funny—and thus are considered to have a sense of humour. The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour induced by humour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational. Though ultimately decided by personal taste, the extent to which a person finds something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, whose purely physical nature makes it more accessible to them.
